A very good climb that leads to the path between the Ocusacayo and Cuautzin volcanoes. Access is permitted; only once did the Ozontepec community security guard question me about where I was going.

On one side of the bike path that once served as the railroad tracks to Cuernavaca. A place to take shelter from the elements, take a break, or take a pit stop for a bathroom break, although sometimes there's no water or it's closed.

The road that connects the southern volcanoes in the Chichinautzin Biological Corridor, from Parres to Tlaloc Volcano, passing through Piripitillo, Tulminac, and Tuxtepec. Remember that there are no supply areas here, so you need to bring what you need to cross these volcanic dirt roads, which are more difficult to navigate during the rainy season or during extreme drought.

I remember when it was in better condition than it is now, and all the facilities were functioning, the bathrooms had running water, and there was always someone to look after and assist with the bike rentals. Currently, it doesn't have all the services, but it's generally a safe area, and you can take shelter from the elements if you need to.

The road that connects the southern volcanoes in the Chichinautzin Biological Corridor. Remember that there are no supply areas here, so you need to bring what you need to cross these volcanic dirt roads. Its beauty is undeniable and it's not very difficult unless drought or puddles make it more difficult for the wheels.

In this area, paths cross to any volcano in the area. Sometimes, the area's caretaker is there, and you can request asylum if necessary. The area is well preserved and offers a respite from the route where you can return to your destination.
